Features: This book is a key construction textbook for higher education in Zhejiang Province and a national-level planning textbook for the "15th Five-Year Plan" in general higher education. "Mathematical Modeling" is a relatively new course that has developed rapidly in universities and colleges in China over the past two decades. Although its history is short, its growth has been swift. This book illustrates the fundamental methods and skills for establishing mathematical models to solve real-world problems through typical examples from fields such as mathematics, physics, ecology, environment, medicine, and economics. The book is divided into ten chapters, covering continuous models, discrete models, logical models, stochastic models, and more. The appendix at the end of the book includes competition problems from the Zhejiang University Mathematical Modeling Contest for Undergraduates over the past three years, for reference. Reading this book helps to broaden thinking and enhance the ability to apply mathematical reasoning methods to solve practical problems. It can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in applied mathematics, engineering, and related fields in universities and colleges, as well as a reference for university teachers and students, and for various scientific, technological, and engineering professionals.
